Biloela family's deportation delayed until Friday after last minute legal bid

The Biloela Tamil family fighting to remain in Australia have had their court case adjourned until Friday.

A decision on whether a Tamil family will be forced to leave Australia has been delayed until Friday after the Federal Court decided to extend an injunction protecting two-year-old Tharunicaa from deportation. 

Priya and Nades and their two Australian-born daughters Kopika, 4, and Tharunicaa are in detention on Christmas Island while the matter is decided before the Melbourne court.
